Penny Lane meet Daisy Jones

I'm not sure about you but this month I was stuck to my TV every weekend streaming the weekly Daisy Jones and the Six episodes. I mean, to me, it is the perfect show. Set in the 70s, with amazing fashion, rock music, and obviously groupies. Not to mention the AMAZING...
